I haven't skied heavily in several years and want to get back on the hill regularly. I skied on a pair of Rossi Scratch Ghettos for years. Blew out an edge on a rail, JB Welded it back in, held for another 2 years. Things were tanks but they're dead now. My other skis are some Surface prototypes...

Well fate has placed me in Zurich for a bit so of course I brought the skis and I've booked a week in Zermatt. Never been to Switzerland before, the only place I've skied in Europe before is Mayrhofen and the Hintertux in Austria. Any tips? Favorite runs? The lift tickets are confusing me...

Well my moms moved to Switzerland last year, how about that. This means I get to go visit her which is awesome. Should I go in Feb or March? For America I've always thought of Feb as the perfect month but I did Austria in April once and they still had a lot of snow so I thought maybe for Europe...

Two of my buddies want to switch over from snowboarding and asked me to pick gear out for them. These two both seem like solid park/all mountain skis and more importantly they are cheap as chips on evo and the right size. They both are intermediate snowboarders who have never skied. One of them...

Anyone play? It's pretty fun, very worth $20. My computer can't run D3 so I don't have that to compare it to, been having a lot of fun though. My handle is imablackbelt, I have a 65 Berserker and a 30 Engi, lets do some questing and shit.

I've been a member here at NS since 2008 I think, a few years now. And I've never asked for the famed NS bump. Well, I'm calling in the favor. http://hobbytron23.blogspot.com This is my blog. I get paid a pretty good amount of money to write it, and it only has 9 followers. You can subscribe...

Hey guys, finally have some extra money kicking around and I'm getting a week in a Grand Targhee this year so I think its finally time to buy pow skis. Looking for fat twins, will consider most of them, rocker preferred. I need binders too so offer up with the skis if they have some. Have to get...

Ey, isn't there a page somewhere that has hi res versions of all the previous splash pages? I haven't been able to find it since they last redid the site, where the hell did that thing go?

Awwww yeah. Mt High possible opening Sunday or Monday.

Mt. High claims they might open this Saturday for season pass holders. It will just be the bunny slope with a couple boxes and rails on it, last year it was literally like a 10 foot flat box and that was it. But I'll certainly be there pounding beers in the parking lot and wrecking all over that...

So a buddy is trying to get rid of this board and bindings made by Jobe for $50. Its only 150 which means it was big enough for me when I was about 14, and some googleing has determined it was a brand they sold at Costco back in the 90's. Does anyone know what they originally sold for? If they...

Anyone? Can spend up to $400, my only request is that its road legal and runs well enough for me to drive it home. Will go just about anywhere south of Sacramento to pick it up.

http://www.snowbombing.com/en/ I'm fucking flying out in 2 days. Anyone else going? Anyone been? I have no idea what it will be like. Been wanting to ski Austria for 8ish years. I hear the snow was bad this year but I DGAF. Finally have the money. P.S. its a 7 day rave at a ski resort in...

Well I'm moving up to SF, in the city proper. Looking for people to carpool or split gas to Tahoe (possibly Northstar because I think I can get discounts there). Also need people to kick it with or hit up bars or whatever, only have a couple friends up there, and hockey fans to carpool down to...

Going up to Grand Targhee for the first time, getting about 7 days in. Any runs I absolutely need to hit? Mellow 20ish foot cliffs about? Places to eat? Places to get drunk? Places to get chicks? Conditions this weekend and next week? Anyone wanna hang out and show me some lines, smoke up...
